Rep- Representative, Local council one and three
VHT –Village health team

agree to cooperate in the Project “Clean water for Ruboni”  as follows.

Project Goals

The goals and planned actions of the project are:

  1. In the future, the population of Ruboni and its surroundings will be supplied with clean spring water to minimize diseases and deaths, especially in young children.
  2. For this reason, water pipes are laid from a higher source at least 60 cm deep into the ground to be directed into a cleaning tank. The water is then directed to decentralized tanks near the residences. The water can be removed from these decentralized tanks with canisters by pressing a push button. The push button prevents unwanted water removal.
  3. We are going to use plastic tanks starting from the supply tank/treatment tank and the break pressure tanks. However the foundation of the tanks shall be a slab made of concrete, the sedimentation and the source shall be made of concrete.
  4. Refering to the area  around  the  source the community has agreed to offer land  for free to realize the water project and the source will be protected from any human activities that can negatively affect the source. This was witnessed by the chairman of the local council and the ridge leader.
  5. The water project does not belong to one person, it is a community based project, it belongs to everyone in the community . The committee will be working for two years after a new committee will be in charge.  However it will depend on how the committee has worked because it is a voluntary work.
  6. The size of the land at the source is big enough (50ft x50ft) and the water committee will be responsible for the use of that land.
  7. We have one committee for the land. However this committee is working with the Rwenzori  child care board during the planning phase and during the construction process. After its completion the water project will be handed  over to the water committee by RCCI board and by a representative from the Association Partnership Healthy World,Germany.
  8. If our measures are not sufficient to keep the water clean and free of bacteria and viruses, we will think about further filter systems to be installed in a second step.
  9. After the completion of the project, we will carry out an evaluation and, with the help of a checklist from PGW, ask all residents for benefits in terms of improved living conditions, faster access to water and improved health conditions.

Steps involved

1.  Consult with the District Water and Environmental officer.
2.  Process of surveying.
3.  Evaluate the community and also see the local council members.
4.  Measuring the water capacity and how good or useful it is.
5.  Construction
6. Select communities to manage the water source just in case of any kind of abuse. Thus the committee is involved to take responsibility.
7. All this process should go hand in hand with local council leaders, Ridge elders and town council engineers.

Time-Frame                      6 months (10/2021 – 03/2022)

Project Location:

Kasese District, Ibanda-kyanya town council, Busongora County, Ruboni Village.

Project situation:

Ruboni is located in rural Uganda in the western region in the foothills of Rwenzori Mountains. The fact that more than 70 % of the population are staying in these hilly areas is due to traditional beliefs according to which staying on hills and near the forests would ensure good luck. It is also believed that gods stay in forests and guarantee fertile soil security and protection. The hilly areas provide viewpoints to prevent attacks from enemies.
50 years ago the size of the population was smaller. Now it has increased which has led to environmental degradation, water contamination, poor methods of farming, destruction of water sources, soil erosion.
The location of Ruboni is surrounded by 3 ridges each of which is accommodating more than 60 households with an average of 7 people in each house hold. 60% of the population are children 14 years and below.
Last year the village has been hit by floods, so most of the water streams have been destroyed and most families have no clean and safe water to drink, others are travelling long distance to get access to water.

Project Budget

The cost of the project is estimated to be about 37.500.000 UGX (maximum project sum are 9.000,00 Euro).
The budget and project schedule is documented in Appendix A.
The project will be funded from following sources:

PGW with special donators                                                                                                  9.000 Euro

Local donators                                                                                                    895 Euro

Current water charges: water-users

PGW will provide the following financial contribution to the project:
9.000 Euros will be transferred until  14 th October 2021

Reporting
The Project Manager Kule Isaak or, in case of absence to act as a substitute Elly Bwabu, from RCCI will inform chairman Wolfgang Fischer and in Cc 2. chairman Heiner Stepper from PGW about the progress of the project, especially about significant changes in schedule (one month or more) or cost estimates (>10%).
RCCI will send PGW the following documentation:

  • Every end of every two weeks PGW receive pictures of activities and a short status report
  • Every end of a month PGW receive an overview of the costs incurred and the scanned invoice documents
  • PGW receives an evaluation report based on the checklists prepared by PGW together with RCCI three months and 12 months after the residents commissioned the new plant.
